In the past, you must have seen every health influencer and nutritionist speak about the many benefits of apple cider vinegar on social media. Many people try to lose weight and get results. Of course, apple cider vinegar helps with weight loss by boosting your metabolism. But consuming it in excess is also a health risk factor. If you are also blindly relying on apple cider vinegar for weight loss, then you should also be aware of apple cider vinegar side effects.

Following social media trends, I also started consuming apple cider vinegar for weight loss. This is also without consulting any nutritionist. Even my mother didn’t know about it. After a few days, I started to get sour every morning when I drank apple cider vinegar on an empty stomach.

I am ignorant and worried about it. So much so that the sour taste starts to appear after eating anything. Then my mother started to worry. When he checked my morning routine, I told him I had started drinking apple cider vinegar these days. Then he told me to leave it. He said it all came from drinking apple cider vinegar in the morning on an empty stomach.

Then I thought why not do some research on this issue before making any decisions. After all, the weight loss journey requires the right discipline and diet.
